instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a large mixing bowl, blend 24 ounces of cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

    3

    Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and mix well. Then, incorporate 3 eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined—this helps avoid overmixing.

    4

    In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs with 1/2 cup of melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated.

    5

    Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

    6

    Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust.

    7

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.

    8

    While the cheesecake is baking, chop 4 ounces of Heath bar into small pieces.

    9

    Once the cheesecake is out of the oven, let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.

    10

    Before serving, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form and spread it over the top of the chilled cheesecake. Sprinkle the chopped Heath bar pieces on top for garnish.

How to be creative
  • Add raspberry or chocolate sauce on top for an extra layer of flavor.

  • Use a chocolate cookie crust instead of graham cracker for a richer taste.
Important Tips
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter after adding the eggs to prevent cracks on the surface.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating to achieve the best texture.
